Anticipating- that Pine Village wouM
be a six to four favorite in Lafayete rver the Clabbys. Hammond fans are
today puzzled by the following- 'tele
gram g-Veeived last evening by the asent viihe Motion at Hammond from
the agi of the Jlonon at Lafayette: "Mr. W. G. Haley,
"Agent. Jlonon, Hammond. "Push the same all you can. The betting Is on at fever heat. Even money with a strong- feeling for Clabby team to win. They base their bets on three previous games; the Clabby-Olts, and the two Pine Village-Celts. "J. PRIEST. Agent Monon. "Lafayette. Ind.. Having seen the Hammond football leven perform this year when it defeated the aggregation of college men playing: under the banner of the Sheridan A. C. 20 to 0. Lafayette fans may know -whereof they bet. But Hammond followers are still standing pat lisat they are entitled to odds in view f the fact that the Village eleven has MeCo-mber. King and the other boys with big reputations. "My men are in the best shape of the
eason." said Captain FYank Blocker of the Ciabbys last evening following a two hours practice, rub downs and massages. We confidently expect to defeat rine Village." Every man excepting Nolan, who has a bad ankle, will be in condition to play at Lafayette Sunday. Frank Blocker will be good for at least two or three quarters as he is feeling in better trim today than he was an hour before the Celts game. A brass band will accompany the team and players on the special Monon train leaving Hammond at 8:30 Sunday
morning. A number of Hammond yells
are to be printed and will be distribut
ed by yell leaders on the train with re
hearsals of five or ten minutes in each
coach enroute. From the time th
train leaves until it returns the trip
will be in charge of a committee on ar rangements.
Ait Stewart and Drury are devoting
their time to giving the players rub
downs after the practices and Ted
Evans gives electrical massages, so
that all the men are In the pink of con
dition.

C, I. & L. Ry. Company To Lafayette, I o d i a ii a Account Clabby-Pine Village Football Game ' Sun., Dec. 10, '16 Fare $2.00 for the Round Trip. Special Train Leaves 8:30 A.M. Returning Leaves Lafayette 8:00 P.M. Everybody should go, as this is the biggest event of the season.
Hammond should send as big
a delegation to Lafayette as is possible to see the great Pine Village-Clabby football game next Sunday and the city extends a cordial invitation to all other Lake county cities to swell the crowd. The Hammond football team has this year met and defeated those among the best teams in Iowa, Wisconsin, Hlinos, Ohio and Michigan and Lake county football fans can be proud of its personnel. It is a team of gentlemen and is respected, wherever it has played. It is the last chance this year that the Hammond fans will get a chance to see the team in action. It is matched with a team of giants led by the mighty King of Harvard and needs all the support it can get. It will encourage the players to feel that they have a crowd of 1,500 or 2,000 fans behind them- so if you can arrange to get aboard the Monon special at Hammond or Lowell next Sunday do so. Let's give the Hammond eleven a royal send-off.

(Special to The Times.) . WHITING. IND., Dec. 6. After tonight's games at the Owls' Club have been won and put on record the fans will begin to talk about those games Saturday at the high school auditorium. The Hamlin Park Outlaws will Invade Whitlmg that night to play the Owls, and Hamlin Clippers will tussle with the Polarines. These games will be staged for the charity fund of the Tri Kappa Sorority.

NEW TORK. Dec. 6. Bob Moha has hit the pugilistic toboggan. At the Broadway S. C. last night George K. O. Brown, from far Chicago, administered a sound thumping to the alleged man killer in ten rounds. Moha is not even in the boy killer class any more. His showing against Brown proved that. Brown has Just returned from a successful Invasion of Australia, if sticking the limit with Les Darcy in two twenty-round spats can be called successful. ' The Greek apparently converted his meetings with Darcy to
good account. He has improved fully 100 per cent since he last fought here. From a shambling, slugging mixer. Brown has been. transformed into a clever, methodical puncher. He used his newly gained knowledge to good effect against Moha. A resume of the rounds shows that Brown held the up
per mit in the first, second, third, fourth and sixth rounds. Moha earned only the tenth. The rest, naturally, were even. In their last meeting Brown got a twelve-round decision over Moha at
Boston. Georsre' seems to have some-
thng on Bob. J have lost to the Owls the last two I years by only two or three points, and I they declare they will win this year or ! break something.
